Patent Images
1. Polymeric composition comprisingA) a biodegradable aliphatic/aromatic copolyester (AAPE) comprising:
- a) an acid component comprising repeating units of;
49 to 66 mol % of an aromatic polyfunctional acid;
51 to 34% of an aliphatic acid, at least 70% of which is sebacic acid;
b) butanediol;
said AAPE being biodegradable according to the Standard ISO 14855 Amendment 1 of more than 40% in 30 days, with respect to cellulose used as reference;
and having;
a density of less than 1.22 g/cc;
a number average molecular weight Mn of 40,000 to 140,000;
an inherent viscosity of 0.8 to 1.5; and
B) at least one other polymer selected from other polyesters of the aliphatic/aromatic type or biodegradable polymers of natural origin or of synthetic origin.
